So I started my VW addiction back in 2005 when I picked up a gently used 2003 MK4 GTI VR6. I was pretty in to going to any VW meet in my area back at Travis and met some cool people. It seemed a lot easier there as well to throw up a "VW" sign and get one back. Fast forward to December 2010, and I was on my way to Germany, but like an idiot I sold my beloved VR6 before leaving. Waiting to purchase a MK7 GTI I filled that gap with a eurospec 93' MK3 GTI VR6 in the spring of 2014. Last Friday I picked up my new MK7 PP GTI and couldn't be happier. But since I've been in Germany/cruising on base no one shows any love. Now I know the lack of respect from a MK3 owner to a MK6 owner is a bit hard to judge because most of these guys are first time VW or VAG owners. And when they see some old MK3 GTI dude throw up the "VW" they look at you like you're crazy. LONG story short... Back in Cali I made up some little flyers a couple of us would carry in our cars and either hand out to rando's or leave under their wiper blade. They were pretty simple, with "EURO GTG" at the top, then all VAG Models welcome underneath that. It had the address for VWvortex.com as well as where in there to find our NorCal forum. And lastly, a time, and where we would meet every Friday night, which was Sonic in Vacaville. So I'm gonna try and make some of these soon and hopefully get some to you guys that would like to get this area going with a regular VAG GTG soon. Lemme know your thoughts and any ideas!!!

Nice to see there are some other enthusiasts on here in the known area. If you guys are going to those shows next week we should meet up. I have a blue mkiv with jetta front end of you ever see me lol
just booked a trip happening through 1 august... would've loved to have been in the vrs show.
anyone planning on the mannheim show this weekend? it'll get us away from the state fair happening in the kmc area... i'll prolly roll up later in the afternoon.
what if we meet off of the a6? either at the mcdonald's (b270 & a6) or the mobel martin exit? may save a little time... but you gotta be gassed up before (me too)!!

Hello all, Just moved here a lil bit ago. I brought my wifes MKVII here. She has Golf SE. Caint wait till I can get my GTI but probably wont be untill We get back to the states.
Hello. Was just stationed here at Ramstein. Purchased an mk3 golf 1.6 and have been doing some suspension modifications to it since. Looking to possibly get to know some of you.
Okay I miss understood. Physically you work on the flightline. I was thinking in relation to the flightline being any squadrons directly attached to the flight line.
I was trying to find an MK3 here in the Stuttgart area that wasn't completely molested or rusted out. Most of what I found was one extreme or the other. An MK3 would have been ideal, so I could take it with me at the end of my tour, but in the end I was in need of wheels and after two months I grabbed an '06 MK5 off the locally economy that I'll have to leave behind sometime later. For now though, it's in pretty good shape and fun to drive. It's my 4th VW...
I'm looking at possibly selling my mk3 soon. Lots of work done to it. No rust other than the usually front finder rust. Not sure if you'd be interested just throwing it out there.

Did you post pics of this when you first picked it up? I think I remember seeing it. I might be interested, but since I just bought one it'll depend on timing and what I can get through the budget committee (wife).
